Chara obliterates own Hardest Shot record

Not only was the Bruins captain victorious again on Saturday
night, Chara shattered the previous record of 105.9 mph previously
held by, well, himself of course.

Paired up with Team Alfredsson opponent Shea Weber, who's given
the 6-foot-9 blueliner a run for his money in recent years, Chara
watched as the Predators d-man opened up with a blast just under
105 mph. Little did Weber know, with some added motivation and a
return to a Warrior stick, Chara was going to trump that mark
significantly.

No. 33 led off with a 106.2 mph shot on his first attempt before
blasting a 108.8 mph rocket in front of the floored crowd at
Scotiabank Place.

Chara, who will turn 35 in March, has somehow improved his speed
in the competition in each of the last five runs.

The Bruins d-man's squad wound up on the losing end overall, as
Team Alfredsson pulled away late for a 21-12 win. Even if he
doesn't come out on top tomorrow afternoon when the real game takes
place, Chara's ability to hang onto his Hardest Shot crown and once
again smash his previous blasts were something the captain can
certainly be proud of.
